If you fancy something completely different with a brand-new freshness, part musical theatre, part rock concert and vampires with an appetite for romance, then this is for you.
This is the continuation of Steve Steinman’s Vampires Rock – Eternal Love The Musical.
It certainly won’t matter if you’d seen any of the previous shows from Steve Steinman, I’d been lucky enough to have caught previous productions and I wasn’t disappointed with this brand-new show.
With a basic story of Baron Von Rockula, Steve Steinman, bringing the castle back to life with the help of Bosley, John Evans. Bosley turns it into a diner, helped by the vampires. The Baron is looking to replace Pandora, the love of his life and meets Xena, Claire Zamore.
The story may be simple, but it is surrounded by 20 original rock anthems.
The pace is fast and furious and the theatrical performance around it is incredible. You really feel that you’re in a well themed rock concert. Every track drives the story on with powerful vocals with a superb band.
Steve Steinman’s vocals are outstanding and performs in his own unique style, clearly enjoying the show especially when talking to the audience directly. John Evans steals the show in terms of his comedic performance.
The production is perfectly complemented with the set design by Steve Steinman and the lighting designed by Luke Thomson.
It’s a great touch that the cast appear in the foyer, for autographs, photos or just to chat to the audience after the show.
With amazing vocals, hints of the silliness of pantomime, a high level of production values and plenty of satisfaction, this is a must see on so many levels.
Eternal Love The Musical runs until Saturday April 26 at Darlington Hippodrome.
